GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The divine ability of giants of order is not a concept yet but it will do since he has Legion-7 as the substitute for the lacking law of order and the Authority of the Celestial Supreme if need be.

The first thing he did was to assimilate the Celestial godhood and the crown of a demon king into his slots. The assimilation was easy. His existence warped and shifted slightly to accommodate them. It helped that his divine ability could assimilate anything and that the Celestial that the godhood belongs to is dead and the demon king the crown belongs to is not resisting his assimilation.

He said to Legion-7, "I feel so heavy."

"It is probably because you have completed your slots or because you are carrying all the types of authority."

"That's probably true. Now one should have three different types of Authority but I did it."

"That's special and all but you have to hurry up before the Celestial godhood turns you into a god."

"Right."

He moved on with the next step. He has filled the 9 slots he has in his shapeshifting ability. Some of them have fused so all that remains within him are 3 slots. Two of the slots contain the Celestial godhood and the crown of the demon king. The last one is the product of the fusion of the other 6 divine abilities including the giant of order with the dragon heart as the base.

He pushed the fusion of the Celestial godhood with his dragon heart. Nothing went wrong. Godhood doesn't reject anyone as long as they are on the path of perfection. All they have to do is give up their Origin and any power related to laws and they will become gods.

He is not giving up his powers of law but he has assimilated the godhood and he has a divine ability that likes to fuse with divine power so he was able to direct the divine power towards more productive aims instead of becoming a god.

The law fragments of Order within the divine ability of giants of order accepted the Celestial godhood of Order easily without any resistance. After all, the Authority of a Celestial is a facet of the law of order.

This fusion led to the direct recreation of the true giant of Order that Helios once killed, only stronger. A white bone armor grew over his whole body including his head. Meanwhile, all of his other divine abilities transformed into Stigmatas on his body. They appeared as glowing tattoos on his white armor.

Legion-5 exclaimed, "I feel glorious."

He can feel immense power thrumming through his existence. It is almost as if the divine ability of the giant of order has come alive within him.

His inner world is also changing rapidly. A fire started in his inner world due to Legion-7's soul flame and the Celestial godhood. It refused to burn Origin energy and was instead burning his soul force.

Legion-7 said anxiously to him, "This is not sustainable. Do something quickly."

They have encountered something like this before when Legion-7 first got his soul flame. His existence was being consumed to sustain the flame. That was solved by giving it Origin energy to burn. Unfortunately, this flame is closer to a god fire than a soul flame. It doesn't want Origin energy.

Legion-2 advised, "Give it the Authority of the Celestial Supreme."

Legion-5 hurriedly absorbed the Celestial Supreme. He agreed with Soverick's conjecture that the Authority of the Celestial Supreme will be able to solve this issue because it is the only thing they have that is capable of producing mana, origin energy for a plane or divine energy, and Authority for gods.

It is even capable of utilizing cosmic energy so whatever the flame needs, it is likely that the Authority of the Celestial can give it to it. Even if it doesn't work, then they will be able to knock out a lot of energy types that the flame doesn't want with a single move.

It was a wise move to do so because the flame stopped consuming his dragon force and inner world. Not only that, his inner world began enlarging and also drawing cosmic energy into itself without him needing to force it.

As the cosmic energy entered his inner world, the fire within it began refining the cosmic energy just like a world engine would do. It is undoubtedly a positive indication even though it is still lacking because the refinement is very slow.

Legion-5 was elated. "This is good news. It means my plan will work. And it is only getting better."

Legion-7 on the other hand was stressed. He complained, "This might actually kill me."

He is only exaggerating. He is not going to die but the developments are having a heavy toil on him. The inner world of Legion-5 is his body so all the changes are happening to his body and affecting him directly.

It was also the spiritual matter that made up his body that turned into the flame. So he lost both his spiritual and physical body to the fire. The good news is that cosmic energy is rushing into his spark of consciousness and making him stronger.

Legion-7 is not the only one growing stronger as cosmic energy entered their inner world. The white bone armor around Legion-5 was also hardening and the stigmata were stirring up the various law fragments of the divine abilities they held in the law matrix around them. He has truly become a vessel of order.

Many of his Stigmata affect his body so his white bone armor took on some of their properties. First, it shifted into large plates so his armor became rough as if carved from rock. Then it turned into black armor. His shoulders enlarged and another pair of hands grew out from them.

He became a four-armed armored behemoth. He is different from normal Behemoths in that his armor is not smooth. It is made of black crystal scales layered on top of each other to form thick interlocked plates.

A/N: Do you remember that poor demigod that Helios butchered and sacrificed to open the gate to the abyss in the Zargoth plane? Yeah, that's a true giant of order. Helios on the other hand was a true sun giant.
